Very cool, Deb!
Thanka Grns! 
You gotta remember Wendler’s goals as well(pretty sure he talks about it in the book, his change in goals is entirely why he made the program the way it is). A lot of the system is built around the conditioning work he does(sled/prowler/hill sprints) and the fact that he doesn’t compete anymore and never cared to be a BBer.
As far as recovery goes, if you keep reading he addresses that as well, it seems daunting but he stresses ‘picking your battles’ all the time, you have to know that you killed it on Squats that week and should probably not kill it on DLs and lower body accessory work, stuff like that. Also, the work capacity/conditioning work does wonders for your recovery, it seems counter intuitive but it does(to a point at least, don’t need to kill yourself going til you throw up on sled/prowler/sprint work).
Sidebar: speaking of ‘other styles of training,’ has anyone ever tried to mimic Alpha’s style of lifting? It seems incredibly daunting to do that much volume of what is essentially a big time movement for every body part as many days a week as you can, with crazy conditioning work thrown in. Part of me really wants to give it an honest go for a few months though because that dude is fucking badass(he could probably train differently to get a little bigger, a little stronger, but overall athleticism wise I dunno how you do better).
I only get DOMS on off days and if I don’t train everyday I have a harder time recovering. So I train everyday and my recovery is much better and I very rarely get DOMS.

Nope. Tried a million times. My old ass isn’t having it.

Yeah, I have no interest in excelling in those areas at the moment. lol.
We’ll see. I’m on page 31, and see ways to incorporate his ideas, but I’m deffo not gonna do his thing his way 100% for obvious reasons.
I have big balls in the literal sense, but in that sense I’m rocking pea stones.

My problems aren’t DOMS as much as complete exhaustion and an inability to lift without a gram of caffeine and pure hatred running through my veins.
Deb your form looks great, that’s always nice to see on a lift that people so often butcher; bar barely deviated from it’s line at all.

Thanks Red! It’s been a battle to get to that and it still needs much more.
I never cared for Soundgarden too much except when they were brand new but I got sick of them. But then an Audioslave song snuck onto my ipod and I was listening to it right after an intense but victorious moment and now I can’t get enough Soundgarden or Audioslave.

How could you not like one of the greatest rock vocals of all time?
They’re playing up here in July. I bet tickets are sold out. I really hope not

Some chick at teh gym, benching 85lbs. Struggling to rack it on the last rep. I started over to prevent her dropping it on herself, but she got it before I got there.
Was pretty cool to see a chick working hard and not just going through the motions.

I get to work, go to the store, get gas, drive 45min home, put groceries away, feed the cats, fix you a bowl of ice cream, go to the bathroom, eat, wash…
THEN, I get to give you a massage?!?!
Sure… Why not

Short answer, probably like 100-105 for the same 8x4.
Longish answer, you may actually lift less if you haven’t BB benched in awhile, and even after you adjust it all depends on how you do each lift and your individual strengths; do you really tuck and arch on BB but flare wide on DBs, do you press straight up or up and in with the DBs, stuff like that will all change the difference between your 2 numbers(usually in favor of the BB even more, making the gap much bigger).

wow…
I am hurting tonight, running and cutting on AstroTurf has been harder on me than previously thought. I thought not carrying 60 extra pounds would make it easy, but being 15 Yrs older is outweighing that. My ankles are swollen, hips and flutes are sore, but I am loving this shit. Box jumps on the 30" and 36" steps tomorrow morning, mother fuckers betta’ recognize.

I have felt daunted just reading it. Full credit to Alpha, he has the total mind, body and strength package. I’m not sure on your training background but essentially I’m sure you could do less reps and gradually increase. Did you read through the Warrior Athlete thread and his posts on the other site? His old training log is pretty inspiring too. For me, mixing up training in that way is still some way away, I’m still trying to build a solid base level of strength and improve my body composition. You know when they say you need 3 to 5 years solid training? Even though I’ve been lifting since 1995 I only “got it” last year So I intend to look and be better and better every year ahead (as I’m sure ALL of you are).
